In short
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Forth Valley site? We replace worn cold store doors with insulated sliding or hinged doors, heated frames and pressure relief where needed.

Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Typical scopes of work
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Powered door rules that apply in Forth Valley
Forth Valley is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Scotland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
What safety release do cold store doors in Forth Valley need?
Every cold store door should open from inside without a key or tool, even when locked from outside. We fit a clearly marked inside release and can add an alarm button connected to a monitored panel.
Why is our cold room door in Forth Valley hard to open after it closes?
Usually negative pressure: air inside cools and contracts once the door seals. A correctly sized pressure relief valve, heated on freezers, solves this. We check for one on survey and can fit it with a new door.
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Forth Valley?
Our guide price for a sliding cold store or freezer door is £6,495 to £17,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. Size, temperature, insulation and electric operation set the final price, confirmed in writing after a free survey in Forth Valley.
